Eight mines, each locked behind a rank and each regenerating on a 15-minute timer. You mine for tokens, drag your blocks onto the shop NPC to sell them for AceV coins, and rank up from A through F to Z: every rank asks for tokens, total blocks mined and time played, so you cannot buy your way to the top. There are 144 cells in the block; get one assigned and only your lever opens your door. The Warden, an 800-health iron golem with a boss bar, drops Shadow Shards, and the Shady Dealer is the only merchant who takes them, for enchanted netherite gear and nothing else.
